Abstract A crypto control circuit arrangement is disclosed for controlling crypto operation in the case of procedure-controlled semi-duplex data transmission systems in which data are transmitted from a first station with a first data device and a first crypto device, via a transmission path, to a second station having a second crypto device and a second data device. The changes of the data transmission direction are signaled with an order word which is transmitted from the first crypto device to the second crypto device and is evaluated with the help of an order evaluator. A control signal is emitted at the output of the second data device which prepares the second crypto device for the transmission when an end signal is transmitted from the first data device to the second data device. The output of the order evaluator and the output of the second data device are connected with inputs of a gate and a stop signal is only emitted toward a decoding device of the second crypto device by way of the gate when, on one hand, a received order is recognized with the help of the order evaluator and, on the other hand, the control signal indicates the end of the data transmission from the first station to the second station.
In a procedure-controlled semi-duplex data transmission system for crypto operation in which data are transmitted from a first station with a first data device and a first crypto device via a transmission path to a second station having a second crypto device, which includes a decoding device, and a second data device, in which a change of transmission direction is signaled with an order word from the first crypto device to the second crypto device and is evaluated by an order evaluator, whereby the second data device emits a control signal to prepare the second crypto device for transmission when an end signal is received from the first data device, and in which data words inadvertently simulate change of direction order words, the improvement comprising: gating means having an input connected to the output of the order evaluator and an input connected to the output of the second data device and an output connected to the decoder to stop operation of the decoder in response to an order word in conjunction with an end signal.
